Liberty University professor Dr. Daniel Howell has written a book to talk about the benefits of not wearing shoes at all.

It's called the "Barefoot Book." Howell, believes the sole solution to preventing chronic feet problems, like bunions, hammertoes and fallen arches.

I had him for A&P, seemed like a cool guy, he even tried to stand up for LU at the Richard Dawkins event over at Randolph-Macon. He ended up sounding kinda scared and bewildered, but I would have never had the guts to do it.

Dr. Daniel Howell, associate professor of Biology, spent his summer promoting his book, “The Barefoot Book: 50 Great Reasons to Kick Off Your Shoes."

“Oddly enough,” said Howell, “My most successful events were at running-shoe stores.”
